阅读C篇短文,克服生词困难,获取所需信息,按本文内容完成后面各题,选出最佳答案。

(C)

When they advise your kids to “get an education”, if you want to raise your payment, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to give manpower for your society, but not too much that you prove a difficulty to your society.

Get a high school diploma (证书), at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully stop study in primary school.

Get a college degree, if possible. With a BA, you are on the launching pad(发射台). But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you do for a master's degree, make sure it is an M. B. A. and only from a firstclass university. Otherwise, the famous law of diminishing returns (报酬递减律) begins to work.

Do you know, for example, that longdistance truck rivers make more money a year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24000, while the full professors managed to average $23930.

A Ph. D. is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial aim, you are facing a not very bright future. There are more Ph. Ds unemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.

“If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or political science or languages or-worst of all-in philosophy, you take the risk of becomingovereducated for our national demands.

Thousands of Ph. Ds are selling shoes, driving taxis, waiting on tables and filling out resultless applications month. And then maybe taking a job in some high school or college that pays much less than the doorkeeper makes.

56. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who     .

A. will not be a shame to the society

B. will become skilled workers

C. can take care of themselves

D. can meet the demands as a source of manpower 

57. If you are as gifted as Bernard Shaw or Edison,     .

A. you can get a high school diploma without difficulty

B. you will be successful in a primary school

C. you can be professionally successful without a diploma

D. the least you should do is to get a diploma 

58. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Bernard Shaw didn't finish high school, nor did Edison.

B. There are far more Ph. Ds than the society demands.

C. The higher your education level is, the more money you'll earn.

D. If you are too welleducated, you'll make things difficult for the society.

59. The article shows that the writer is not satisfied with     .

A. the educational system (体制)

 B. the Ph. Ds

C. the society

 D. the employers 

60. The underlined phrase “put on the brakes” in paragraph 3 means “    ”.
